Opinions of Duc de Lorraine describe a refined Parisian vibe with an impressive array of pastries and desserts that many reviewers call among the best in Montreal, from oversized croissants to intricate trompe l'oeil creations and a tarte au citron that draws rave comments. The bakery and cafe blend an elegant, cozy atmosphere near Oratoire Saint Joseph with consistently attentive, friendly service that makes guests feel welcome whether celebrating a birthday, enjoying a luxurious brunch, or stopping in for pastry and coffee. The food and desserts are praised for quality and presentation, and the overall experience is often described as charming, polished, and memorable, with a sense that the place truly delivers on its reputation. While prices are frequently noted as high and some guests mention long waits or moments of uneven service, many reviewers feel the combination of flavor, artistry, and service justifies the cost and invites return visits for special occasions or a refined treat.
This was the worst experience I have ever had. We reserved for 5 people & an 18 month old for a brunch in June. The service was beyond slow, took a good half hour before our order was taken. The food was terrible. My daughter ordered scrambled eggs & there must have been at least a dozen on her plate - a serving for 6 people. The sausage was grey & tasteless. Once we ordered, it took them almost an hour to bring our food even though we complained several times. The prices are astronomical & we will not be returning. Horrible experience.

Has potential but overrated. French onion soup was sitting out on the pass for so long the bread sucked up all the broth. Lobster pasta, pasta was way too undercooked, cook on the filet not right
This place offers high-quality, delicious, & authentic pastries, along with fresh fruit options. Prices are a little on the higher side, but overall the experience is worth it. In the summer, you can enjoy watching the turtles while sitting at the outdoor tables, which adds a special charm. The atmosphere has a great vibe, & the staff are polite, attentive, & considerate. Definitely a spot worth visiting!
'I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant with my family. The service was incredibly fast & very professional, & everything I ordered was absolutely delicious. With around 22 years of experience as a chef, I can confidently say that I'll be returning to this place again & again.'
The most amazing banana pudding I have ever had in my life. The food was ok as we ordered the fried calamari. But we had asked if they had orange juice not knowing that for a small glass it was $15 dollars each.
Service was good they are doing there job organized & prepared
Atmosphere in here was not great it is cold & not very nice in the restaurant part but the bakery is absolutely amazing
Overall if give the bakery 5 stars restaurant is 3.8

Found them through TikTok. Was meeting up with an old acquaintance so we decided to check it out, loved it so much I brought my parents a month later to treat them to a night out. The only thing is the service isn't consistent, not sure if it was the time of day or if the staff was new & nervous but night staff was WAY better than noon. The food, the drinks, the pastries. LOVE! I will be back 😌😏
Reputable establishment.
This isn't the first time I come here, but it's the first in a while.
The food was delicious, but the service was slow & forgetful. I had to ask twice for water, & had to remind the waiter for my dessert.
We were seated at an awkward table, where customers came & went to get their pastries.
All in all, I enjoyed the food greatly, though I will not come back again.
FIY, I ordered the bagel eggs benedict & mimosa, & my friend ordered the avocado toast & coffee.

très bel endroit, un peu inconfortable à cause des irrégularités de l'extérieur, mais très bien présenté, le service au début m'a semblé bon, mais le serveur a fait un geste d'agacement à deux reprises lorsque mon fils a renversé de l'eau sur le sol de la terrasse, les desserts ne m'ont pas semblé spectaculaires, le menu n'était pas différent de n'importe quelle autre pâtisserie ou boulangerie & les prix étaient un peu déplacés 16 dollars pour un croissant, alors que la moyenne dans les pâtisseries est de 7 dollars... & j'ai demandé à ce que ma bouteille d'eau soit changée car il y avait des résidus à l'intérieur, par coïncidence le chocolat a fait vomir mon fils à peine 15 minutes après avoir quitté l'endroit..., sympa oui, mais je ne reviendrai pas à cause de l'attitude du serveur. Facture $170
Tout est excellent (peut-être un peu cher mais pourquoi ne pas se faire plaisir). Aujourd'hui, servis par Sajjad, très professionnel avec la plus belle moustache de Montréal.
Duc de Lorraine has once again delighted us with wonderful service, great food & a lively atmosphere. No matter how sated you are, there is always room for dessert & perhaps to take one for breakfast the next day! Thank you for a lovely evening.
